Household hazardous waste cannot be picked up with regular household garbage, but can be disposed of in two ways:

1. The St. Lucie County Sanitary Landfill (located at 6120 Glades Cutoff Road, Ft. Pierce) is a 331-acre site that receives and processes solid waste products from residents and commercial properties year-round in St. Lucie County. Call 772-462-1768 for hours and for information about what will be accepted.
2. The Public Works Department hosts a free Hazardous Household Waste Collection Day twice a year. The department also has free drop-off sites at city buildings for rechargeable batteries (cell phones, etc.). Call 772-871-5100 for more information
